Our Systems Oriented Methodology combined with an extensive library of Silicon Proven IP, supports the design of high performance Transmit, Receive and Synthesizer subsystems that can be realized with high yield.

Design Tools

ADS simulations of multi-tone signals, filtering, noise, modulated carriers, BER/PER, EVM provide a high level of system validation. Matlab & Simulink are used for synthesizer analysis in the time domain and frequency domain. RF Integration’s proprietary System Accelerator (SAX) provide a full chain analysis of Rx and Tx chains.

SAX - RF Integration’s System Accelerator Tool

SAX is a sophisticated proprietary RF system analysis tool that enables instantaneous analysis of a complete Rx and Tx chain over its full dynamic range. This is a crucial step in developing an IC that has realizable, system compliant, building blocks with good performance margin and high yield.

SAX supports:

Initial partition of IC building block specifications,

Allocation of the performance requirements across the chain,

Analysis over the entire dynamic range,

System level optimization of performance versus yield and cost,

Verification of system compliance through the entire design cycle,

Verification over voltage, temperature & process.

SAX is integrated into the RF Integration design flow enabling a high confidence of system compliance from the initial concept phase to production release.
